Location: Rhinelander		First off I think it s a Roustabout......just shy of 15' and 59-60" wide. As told to me boat is a '78......looks average/ok shape.

Anybody have any pointers/hints for a restoration on this type of Tuffy?

Did a search last night and came up with a few ideas......looking forward to a nice winter project for our 10 year old son and I. Hopefully not in over my head..........

Location: Rhinelander		Here are some pictures of my first Tuffy.

This will be rig for small to medium waters.....have one already but after some work I believe this will be more stabil.

Any pointers on how to cut out the side tanks to remove any waterlogged wood and flotation foam?

Plan is to mirrow the new esox interior....wise move or too much added weight?
